Who should Cal start at QB this weekend vs. USC?

Honestly neither of them has had an impressive season. Modster has had one decent game against perhaps the weakest defense Cal has faced. Garbers had a good game at Ole Miss (a team whose defense is about as bad as WSU) and otherwise two partial seasons of inconsistent football. Neither of them has shown any life against a defense with a pulse.

At this point, I'd recommend choosing one and sticking with him. Finish the season, get Baldwin out of here, and let the new guy coach up these guys right. Cal isn't going to turn its season around because of who is behind center and things won't really improve offensively until the man behind the clipboard is replaced.

Which is all a long way of saying "It doesn't really matter. Whoever is the healthiest and the least likely to go down with injury."

This game comes down to which SC team shows up. If SC's defense has a pulse, neither QB will do much. If not, either could be effective enough to win. Consult the SC Football Gods. And this game doesn't mean anything (neither fan base is going to exercise "bragging rights" after this game)- both teams have far bigger problems than the outcome of this game.

Is this a trick question?

Should we start the quarterback that just threw 4 touchdown passes, led the offense to its highest point total this season against a team that was favored by 7.5 points - or - start the quarterback coming off an injured shoulder who hasn't played in 6 weeks and, with the exception one one game, been extremely ineffective over the last year?

Honestly, it doesn't really matter because we are not facing the Wazoo defense, so I'm not confident any of our quarterbacks will look particularly good.
Could you have hit the bullseye any more dead center?

And why?

Ordinarily, I would say Garbers. The incumbent should get his job back when he returns from injury. When Steph Curry comes back he is not going to come off the bench behind Jordan Poole.
Chase Garbers is no Steph Curry.
